of tin cans and an other dother discordant and barbarous noises the cause of this was that between twenty and thirty young rowdies ranging all the way from to considerably over oyer 0 er twenty years of age had llad commenced to charf chari charivari vari uarl tile the young couple thinking that the crowd could be induced to go by being well treated the people in tho the house regaled them a and

hardship the petitioners petition ers were subjected caled to in consequence of their living liv g a alon aion long iong distance from froin water necessitating their carrying it from one to twelve blocks the destruction of health and even life on ap count of having to use the water when stagnant that forty eight un unsuccessful successful wells had been dug at is a cost of and a couple of unavailable ditches had been dug at a cost of over it also aiso set forth that a large amount of water ran to waste from city creek and the petitioners petition ers suggested 0 that if a ditch were dug arom from that stream to empty at tile tho northwest north west wead corner of tho the berich bench they would by thi this means be able to ua me 0 tho the surplus water at the times of the year when it was wag s plentiful remarks Ite marks were made on the pe pc ti tion llon by tho the mayor alderman john sharp councilor C 0 J IL winder and in fact most of the members present all appearing in favor of the petition era all the relief reile f possible and of making irig that thal relief permanent if at all practicable there being a hearty feeling of sym sympathy pathy with the people the

and die anyhow there appears to be a strong disposition on oni the part of the council to take energetic steps in the premises promises for tho the relief of the petitioners petition ers and if they should succeed they will do a most moist thing it has nn an opinion of some that the lack of water in the locality mentioned has made it particularly unhealthy as indicated by tile the annually high

do the tile most good what is a ri riot ot in his decision of tile the case of belding C vs Is burt taylor and jones last everling evening the ideas of U S commissioner did not seem to bo bb very clear fig as to what really constitutes a riot if the honorable gentleman will refer lefer to webster or worcester the tilo two great dictionary authorities amoia among english speaking people on this continent lie ho will find lind that a riot is defined to be in hi fact the turm turn or turbulent proceedings of an assemblage or of people just this and nothing more in ili view vier of this simple definition of none can cali suppose his honor to be ignorant his decision is 19 somewhat anomalous in remarks madely hida bida him after the close of the u evidence coio covo on n both s sides idest and before 0 t the lie lle commencement men coment cement of tho the arguments of counsel tho the court mentioned nM some sonio things that had bad been proven to his complete satisfaction by hv he basti testimony of the tho witnesses s for afi the tho defence artong them that the tho coat of his hig honor the tho thoMa this city had llad been partiA Hy tura toru froni from his person by on an crowd at the polls polla on day thesa these samo same witnesses ower oven bir twenty en in number also testified under oath that thero there wasa was a riot in front of df the city hall hali on election day but yet his honor ruled that ac accordia according cordin to the 06 testimony t there h ere was ws u no 0 rio not nob t t there thare ilar liar C now naw ow h how drw was this wily should the testimony of witnesses be ac knowledg ed as sufficient elent to conclusively establish one proposition but rejected as insufficient to establish another it will hardly hardis be maintained we should think that there is ia some special definition or interpretation of the term riot known to courts or men of the law only for that great authority blackstone says in referring to legal proceedings that words are to be tinder linder stood in their usual and general sense and thib thit certainly is ft accordi according ilg tig tj 0 the deMilt definitions ions lons given thereto in a good dictionary As for tho the evidence on the part of tile the defence it was clear and pointed that the assemblage before tho the city hall hali halaj at about five live or six ili in tho the afternoon on the ad of august was extremely turbulent noisy and t tumultuous one witness stating suiting and the truth of his statement being undisputed by the the prosecuting attorney that lie he had never heard anything like it be fore in utah and it was wa s almost doubtful whether lie he had heard it equalled equal led anywhere any where else it is true that the prosecution by way of rebuttal called a few witnesses witness es who testified that there was no riot before the city hall but huv let the facts speak for themselves es the chief magistrate of the city was assailed and part of his clothing torn from his person and he was only rescued from the violence of the mob by the almost superhuman exertions of those who wished to prevent bloodshed then the ballot bailot box bom ba had bad to be removed and the door of the polling place to be closed and barricaded barricades barrica ded inside to prevent mob violence then when the mayor made his proclamation commanding the peace fiegas he was wag hooted and yelled elded at and told to hold hoid his G d d d no noise hse tho the uproar being so great that it was a considerable time before he was wab heard then again when tilo tile captain of police repeated the substance of the mayors mayor proclamation and exhorted all to keep the peace and and advised those wh who 0 had voted to go to their homes the tho mob made a movement for him as if they meant mischief ilief lifer all these and other demonstrations were proved by the he testimony of numerous respectable pec table and unimpeachable witnesses and yet according to the decision of the commissioner there was no rlou riou if such proceed d in ins ings 3 as tho the above were not turbulent tumultuous and excited it would be hard bard to tell what would bo ami antl none who saw baw the scene or who heard and was disposed to place a fair construction on the testimony 0 offered by the he defence in tho tilo above named case could bei lieve other than that there was a riot before the city hall oil on the ard 3rd of august and one can hardly help heip believing that the decision of the tho commissioner on this point was not what it would have bee been were ho lie disconnected with and surrounded rou by better men anti and under better influences thin those which emanate from the tile carpet atho who compose the anti antl mormon riun ring ling of this city |
